Alocasia Zebrina

Alocasia zebrina, sometimes called a zebra plant, is a tropical houseplant prized for its zebra-like stems. The Alocasia zebrina is difficult to find and tricky to grow since it is known for being picky about its growing conditions. Native to the rainforests of the Philippines, this plant requires similar conditions—moist, well-draining soil, dappled sunlight, warm temperatures, humidity, and soil enriched with compost or fertilizer. Alocasia is toxic to humans and pets.
